Summary of the contracting process

NPL Management Limited, the public undertaking associated with the National Physical Laboratory in Teddington, procured ongoing support for its enterprise project management platform. The requirement covers system administration, technical assistance, issue resolution, user support, maintenance, configuration updates, performance monitoring and advisory services. The purpose is to keep the platform operating effectively and support its continued use across NPL. This is a specialist software support services requirement, classified under CPV 72261000. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The work suits an established technology services provider able to support an enterprise project management tool in a public-sector research and measurement organisation, with responsibility spanning routine administration, technical troubleshooting, platform changes, monitoring and guidance for users.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a below-threshold procedure through the G-Cloud 14 Framework Agreement; the published method is recorded as “below threshold - unknown”. There was one completed lot. CORPORATE PROJECT SOLUTIONS LIMITED was awarded the services on 13 August 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and is recorded as active, with a contract period from 13 August 2026 to 13 August 2026. Its value is £3,636,000 excluding VAT and £4,363,200 including VAT. The award concerns the full software support requirement, and the procurement was evaluated through the framework route. The award is active rather than cancelled, and no termination is reported.

This award demonstrates a substantial requirement for continuing enterprise project management software support within NPL. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability in enterprise platform administration, technical support and issue resolution, together with the capacity to provide user assistance, maintenance and configuration changes. Experience of performance monitoring would be relevant, as would the ability to advise the buyer on effective platform operation and ongoing adoption. Suppliers should be able to manage a broad support service rather than a single implementation task, combining responsive troubleshooting with planned maintenance and technical improvement. Familiarity with public-sector procurement through a suitable cloud framework would also be commercially important, since this requirement was sourced through G-Cloud 14. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that specialist smaller technology businesses can compete for this scale of service.
